Heiland was admitted to LGH for treatment of head, abdominal and orthopedic injuries. Penn Township Police Chief Herbert Weidman said that the accident occurred about 2:15 p.m. at Temperance Hill and Lexington roads. Sarah Furlow escaped injury and her passenger received minor injuries in an early morning car/tractor-trailer/pick-up truck crash May 20. One injured in boro accident at Lemon and Broad streets One woman was slightly injured May 20 about 7:30 a.m. when a car in which she was a passenger collided with a tractor trailer at Broad and Lemon streets. lititz Borough P.D. Officer Harry Yochum reported that Sarah Weidman, 78, of 600 E. Main St., Apt. 124, was transported to Lancaster General Hospital by Warwick Ambulance after complaining of neck and back stiffness. She was treated and released from LGH. She was a passenger in a car driven by Sarah H. Furlow, 78, of 310 Balmer Rd. Furlow was shaken, but declined medical assistance. Yochum said that Furlow had stopped her 1984 Buick Century at the stop sign at West Lemon Street and turned right to go south on Rt. 501. Her vehicle struck a tractor trailer being driven south on Rt. 501 by Eugene Anderson, Peach Bottom R2. The Furlow vehicle struck the cab near the fuel tank on the passenger side of the truck. The impact caused the car to turn 180 degrees and strike the trailer portion of the vehicle. That impact caused the car to go west and hit a parked 1978 Ford pickup truck owned by R. Bruce Hamilton, 206 S. Broad St. Yochum said that the tractor trailer driver had no choice but to continue in his lane because there were two on-coming cars preventing him from swerving to try to avoid the Furlow vehicle. The Furlow vehicle was extensively damaged and was towed by F orry and Forry Garage. “The Lititz Fire Department and fire police did a super job. The fire police had traffic moving in less than ten minutes and the fire department did a great job in cleaning up the debris from about 75 yards of Broad Street to reopen the southbound lane,” Yochum said. Charges against Furlow are pending completion of the investigation, according to Yochum.

But you don’t have to go to the shore to catch some rays over ' the Memorial Day weekend. The Lititz Springs Swimming Pool will hold its annual Opening Day on Saturday, May 23, and the borough’s public works department has been working at a fever pitch to ready the pools for splashdown. There are a few problems, however. Nevin Koch, Lititz Borough’s director of public works, notes that borough works crews have been repairing fill lines on the old pool and are waiting for a circulation valve for the racing pool before the filling operation begins. “We’re hoping that we can get at least one pool ready for opening day,” Koch noted. “We still have to blacktop around the old pool and we are going to have to replace the coping around the kiddie pool.” “We’re hoping for good weather so we can continue to work without delay,” Koch remarked Monday. “If all goes well, we should be done by the weekend'” Opening Day will be celebrated with free admission. The following day, Sunday, May 24, the regular admission fee of $2.50 for adults, $2 for minor children age 10-17, $1 for children age 6-9, and $.50 for children under age 6 will be charged. Season tickets are available through the Lititz Borough office. The pool will open at 1 p.m. and close at 8 p.m. or as directed by the pool manager. Only conventional non-frayed swimming suits will be permitted in the swimming pool. The pool will be open on Memorial Day and on weekends throughout the end of school, then daily all summer long. * w mÊÊÈÊ W f v Lititz Public Works department crews have been busy repairing the piping to the old pool and replacing coping on the kiddie pool. The annual Opening Day will be held at Lititz Springs Pool this Saturday, but could be limited to just the racing pool. “ The following weekend, we should be back to normal,” notes pool manager, Andy Amway. Voting here rained out Lititz pool personnel CPR certified Imitating the weather, local voters drizzled into area polling places Tuesday. It was an election with virtually no local contests. Incumbent county commissioner James Huber’s successful fight to land an unendorsed November election slot for a third time apparently did not provide a strong enough incentive for local voters to come out in the rain and cast their ballots. Contacted Wednesday morning, Charles Steffy, committeeman for the borough’s third ward, first precinct, calculated that only 25 percent of his district’s registered voters had come in to vote by 6:30 p.m. Polls closed at 8 p.m. The area’s one local contest between incumbent E liz a b e th Township supervisor Jay R. Ober and his opponent Jerome L. Peters, president of the Penryn Fire Co., resulted in a dose race, with Ober receiving 114 votes to 93 for Peters. According to Barbara Tshudy, chairman of the Warwick Area Republican Committee, only 10 votes are needed to elect a candidate who runs unopposed. In Tuesday’s primary here, candidates for the Warwick School Board, (Turn to Page 9) Lifeguards, office, snack, and manager personnel at Lititz Springs Swimming Pool c om p le ted requirements for CPR certification May 18. According to Andy Am-way, manager, this marks the first year that all guards were required to be CPR certified. In recent years, a number of the guards had been certified since they were also ambulance volunteers. Amway’s wife, Sylvia, a nurse and Red Cross volunteer CPR instructor, prepared the eight for the certification. Those who completed certification requirements are: Angela ZwaUy, Nelson Tyson, John Ritchey and Craig Schonour, guards; Desiree Karr, office; Nancy Wilson, snack bar; Craig S MtJI C A * V John Ritchey, left, and Craig Schonour, right, practice CPP skills on "Annie," a lifelike mannequin used in Red Cross- sponsored CPR courses. Wagaman, a s s is ta n t manager; and Andy Amway, manager. Amway noted that having all eight certified assures that there will be a CPR-trained guard as well as other personnel capable of assisting available at all times. Growing population contributes to budget-busting School district approves 4-mill tax hike by Becky Collins Residents of Warwick and Elizabeth Townships and Lititz Borough will notice a decided increase in their school district tax bills this July 1. The Warwick School District Board of Directors formally approved the district’s budget for the 1987- 88 fiscal year Tuesday night along with a 4 mill property tax increase to support the new budget. The school district’s $12.27 million dollar budget represents a 11.9 percent increase over last year’s operating budget. The new millage rate is set at 39 mills, up from the current rate of 35. Earned income taxes will remain at the rate of one-half of one percent on salaries, commissions or other compensation of school district residents. Occupation millage taxes will remain at the rate of 100 mills on the assessed value of all occuptions of persons residing in the school district, effective July 1. All real estate and occupation taxes paid on or before Aug. 31 will carry a discount of two percent. Taxes paid on or before Oct. 31 will be paid at face value and all taxes remaining unpaid as of Nov. 1 will be subject to a ten percent penalty. The board also approved a one-half percent realty transfer tax on transfer of interest in real property within the Warwick School District to be calculated on the value of the real estate. Growing Pains School officials have cited salary increases and additions to the staff as the major reason for the budget and tax increases. The district plans to add nine new teaching positions next year, a move district officials say is necessary because of expanding enrollment in the district. The school district’s rapid growth has fueled the plan for expansion of district facilities. Building expansion projects are currently in progress at John Beck and Kissel Hill Elementary schools. Future expansion plans include adding space at Warwick High School. A recent $4.5 million dollar bond issue was passed by the board to finance expansion of the elementary schools and to remove asbestos from all the district’s buildings. The cost of the bond issue is also reflected in the 4 mill tax hike. The school district faces, for the first time this fiscal year the loss of an additional $200,000 due to changes in the distribution of Lancaster County Earned Income Tax funds. The budget received preliminary adoption by the board in their April meeting. A public meeting was held May 5 to present the budget to the public and to answer any questions. According to David Zerbe, only two persons attended the meeting besides members of the school board. Dr. John Bonfield, superintendent of schools, noted that the budget had been on display in the district’s office. New Principal Screening of applicants for the John Beck Elementary principal position is cu r r en tly underway. Wallace Hofferth noted that there are currently 10-12 finalists for the position. Those 12, he noted, will be reviewed by the selection committee and interviews of the finalists will be conducted in the June personnel committee meeting. Dr. Bonfield noted that there was an equal distribution of men and women applicants for the position. Personnel In instructional personnel-related matters, the board accepted the resignation of Mary Wenger, a teacher at John Beck Elementary. Wenger is resigning her position to accept a church-related position. The board approved the election of two elementary teachers and one high school teacher. Joan Shaak, Manheim R3, was approved as an elementary teacher at Lititz Elementary School effective Sept. 8 at a salary of $27,052. Dana Roy, 2125 Mt. Washington Ave., Colorado Springs, Colo., was approved by the board as an elementary teacher at John Beck Elementary, effective Sept, 8 at a salary of $19,115. Laurel Hess, 727 Pearl Ave., Manheim, was approved by the board as a part-time chemistry teacher in the high school effective Sept. 8 for a pro-rated salary of $17,275. A leave of absence for Rebecca Ocker, a teacher at the middle school, was approved by the board. Mrs. Ocker will be taking an unpaid leave of absence from her duties for child care effective Sept. 8, 1987 through the end of the first semester of the 1987-88 school year. R e s ig n a tio n s were received from six extra-duty personnel members. Carol Morgan resigned her position as assistant high school basketball coach effective the end of the 1986- 87 school year for personal reasons. Terry Kauffman, assistant varsity football coach resigned his position with the school district effective April 30, for personal reasons.

The cost of the bond issue is also reflected in the 4 mill tax hike. The school district faces, for the first time this fiscal year the loss of an additional $200,000 due to changes in the distribution of Lancaster County Earned Income Tax funds. The budget received preliminary adoption by the board in their April meeting. A public meeting was held May 5 to present the budget to the public and to answer any questions. According to David Zerbe, only two persons attended the meeting besides members of the school board. Dr. John Bonfield, superintendent of schools, noted that the budget had been on display in the district’s office. New Principal Screening of applicants for the John Beck Elementary principal position is cu r r en tly underway. Wallace Hofferth noted that there are currently 10-12 finalists for the position. Those 12, he noted, will be reviewed by the selection committee and interviews of the finalists will be conducted in the June personnel committee meeting. Dr. Bonfield noted that there was an equal distribution of men and women applicants for the position.
